Effect of riociguat on a) right heart hypertrophy (assessed by the ratio of right ventricle weight to left ventricle and septum weight (RV/(LV+S)) and b) degree of muscularisation of small pulmonary arteries in rats with monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension. Rats received MCT or saline by subcutaneous injection and were investigated on day 21 or 35. Oral riociguat (10 mg·kg−1) was administered from day 21 to 35 in MCT-treated animals (n = 8). Degree of muscularisation is given as percentage of non- (░), partially- (▪) or fully- (▒) muscularised pulmonary arteries from total vessel count (vessels sized 20–70 μm) in MCT-treated animals. *: p<0.05 versus control; #: p<0.05 versus MCT at day 35.
